Fay’s Not Over Until She Says She’s Over

I know that several folks (myself included) were breathing a sigh of relief and discounting Fay as just a Tropical Storm.

Maybe we get to upgrade her to "just a cat 1 with a wacky path".  The 11pm update has her actually strengthening over the peninsula, and a forecasted re-landfall as a Cat 1 hurricane near St. Augustine.

I’ve seen some really wacky storm paths simulated in the cat models…and well maybe they aren’t as truly bizarre as I once thought they were.

Usually you see storms impacting just part of Florida…but sheesh, it looks like Fay has something against the state.

Mercifully she isn’t forecast to go above Cat 1.  If a Cat 3 or more storm were dancing this way across the state, could you imagine the assessments needed to cover the damages on state-subsidized wind cover?
